N suffix: program current using an NFC-capable phone and the MEAN WELL app / PowerNFC; Android 4.1 or later, or iOS 12 or later. Read and write only with input AC power disconnected. Enable NFC and hold the phone antenna less than 5 cm from the driver’s NFC mark; read the driver, adjust its permitted current, write the setting and confirm “Success”. Read again to verify the stored value. The catalog NFC note specifies set-current versus actual-current error within 2%; the main output current tolerance remains ±5%.
NFC password: the factory default is no password. A user password may contain up to 8 case-sensitive English letters or digits, without special characters, and is required for subsequent writes. The password cannot be reset by external means. The app’s “Default” function restores output current to its factory value; it is not a password reset.
Control and dimming
| Parameter |
Specification |
| Dimming interface |
3-in-1 control between DIM+ and DIM−: 0–10 VDC, external 10 V PWM at 300 Hz–3 kHz, or resistance 0–100 kΩ. For N synchronized drivers, the resistance scale is 100 kΩ/N. Dimming source current: 100 μA typical. |
| Dimming limits |
Minimum dimming level is about 8%; output below 8% and above 0% is undefined. Dim-to-off is available with approximately 0 VDC, 0 kΩ or a 10 V PWM control signal at 0% duty cycle. |
| Dimming connection |
Do not connect DIM− to output −V. Direct LED connection is recommended; the driver is not intended for use with additional drivers. |
